The Storm will reach a 14-year low if they don't get a much needed win over the Raiders on Friday night, but skipper Harry Grant has hit back at suggestions the side is all flash and no bang.
Having sat on top of the ladder after round two, last year's grand finalists have since lost their last four on the trot to sink to 13th.
A fifth-straight loss would be the worst drought since 2012, although they still managed to go on and win the competition that year.

But the numbers behind this latest slump will no doubt have Bellamy worried.
The Storm were +74 on for-and-against after round two, and are now only +2. In four matches, they've leaked 134 points and scored only 62 for a for-and-against of -72. Only the Eels have leaked more points (142) in the same period, but have scored 80 points for a slightly better for-and-against (-62).
The shocking run of form has led several prominent pundits to effectively declare the Storm's premiership hunt dead and buried.
"There's a level that we need to be performing to, and we're certainly not there at the moment with application on the field," skipper Harry Grant told media on Tuesday.
"We've been preparing really well for games and there are answers in the team and in the coaching squad, but it's on us to put in practice for performances on the weekend."
Grant pointed to the Bulldogs' shock win over the Panthers, who were also in a rut, as an example of how quickly things can turn. He said the side would continue to block "outside noise".

"Everyone changes their tune week after week," he said.
"I think they had the Bulldogs written off a couple weeks ago, but after the weekend they're probably back in the loop.
"With that, it's eliminating all the outside noise. We've got all the answers in the club here with the playing group and the coaching staff, but it's just about applying it.
"People can have their opinions, but it doesn't mean too much."
Coach Craig Bellamy said the team might "need a bit of a change-up" after the loss to the Warriors, but has resisted the urge to make wholesale changes for the Raiders clash.
There was only one change to the starting line-up when team lists were released on Tuesday – winger Moses Leo axed in favour of rookie Manaia Waitere.
Hooked from the field only 10 minutes into the second half, having already copped an almighty spray from Bellamy at half time, Joe Chan kept his spot in the starting side.
Grant was sympathetic to the 24-year-old for receiving the spray, and backed him to rediscover his form.
But he conceded that a lift from Chan would not be the silver bullet that would make the Storm the force it usually is.
"Everyone's been in those shoes at times as a player – we just need Joey at his best," he said.
"When he brings his strengths to the team and he's at his best, he's a great asset to the team.
"It's important that he gets back to that this week and prepares well. You can single one player out, but it's not one player. It's a collective 30-man squad, and that's what it is."
The Raiders-Storm clash is the early game on Friday night, with kick off at 6pm AEST.
